There's two things being conflated here I think, even though they're
related.

The one is how long we'll let RMIDs settle before trying to reuse them,
the second is how often we attempt the rotation. Clearly the rotation
time is limited by the settle time, but they need not be the same.

Also, we already have a per pmu rotation interval in
pmu::hrtimer_interval_ms, I suppose we should reuse that to be
consistent.
